Board of Denture Technology

The Board of Denture Technology consists of seven members appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Oregon Senate: four active licensed denturists, one Oregon licensed dentist in active practice and two public members who do not possess the professional qualifications of other members and who are not a spouse, domestic partner, child, parent or sibling of an active licensed denturist or dentist.

The term of office of each member is three years, but a member serves at the pleasure of the governor.

Health Licensing Office (HLO)

The Health Licensing Office (HLO) is a state consumer and public protection agency overseeing regulation of multiple health and related professions. The 70th Oregon Legislative Assembly established HLO in 1999.

Unique in structure compared to other state professional licensing and regulatory bodies, HLO incorporates a central agency model and director rather than a single board of directors from one profession.
